Default Weapons of area effect and chain reaction

It came into my mind that has anybody tried to mod weapons which would cause area effect like nuclear explosions, which would damage the target ship and all ships in adjacent squares. It would be nice to have 9 ships in one shot

Also I was thinking modification to computer virus. Normal virus destroys a computer of one ship. However, in real life computer viruses use the infected machine as a platform to spread themselves more. I would like to have a computer virus, which would hit a ship and continue nearby ships until it wears out or ships run out.

For example computer virus 3 makes 60 damage and it is 3 times more than it would need. All the rest damage goes for nothing. Why not use 20 damage to first ship it hits, 20 to next and 20 to Last ship. Three ships all together. Of course, it would spread only ships in adjacent squares in the infected ship and only if their shields are down. This technology could add 3 more levels into computer virus technology (name could be Spreading computer virus or Enhaced computer virus).

However, I think you can't mod anything this complicated, can you?
